Well maybe and maybe not. I set 6 rows of eleven thumb tacks up on my light box. In setting them up, I noticed how my hands reflected in the base of the tackes. So, I held an upopened package of multicolored PostIt notes over the set up when taking the images....that is where the color is from. Enjoy!

Post: Camera Raw adjustments in PSElements 6.0. Layer adjustments for levels, brightness/contrast and hue/saturation. Crop. Adjust Sharpness. Spot edited dust and some distractions on the bases of the tacks. Curves adjustment. Resize. USM.

Another image that on first pass, was rated lower than it should have been. The general understated tone and subtle color stand out during the comment phase. Originally rated a seven because of it's technical merit, the image has been rerated to a nine because of it's subtle and simple nature. Well done.
